I actually stuck a piece of liver in my dungarees pocket once and disposed of it outside after dinner. I hated liver. Thankfully my mother only made it a few times, because none of us kids liked liver.
Who'da thunk that today I actually enjoy calves liver and onions.
What if the Hokey Pokey really IS what it's all about?
My neighbor rang my doorbell at 2:30 a.m. this morning, can you believe that, 2:30 a.m.!? Lucky for him I was still up playing my drums. |

I didn't do this, but my little sister did when she was about six years old and I was about nine.
Remember St. Joseph's Aspirin for Children? I think it still may exist today. It's chewable like candy. My sister knew it tasted like candy. She has a sweet tooth to this day. So one morning she gets out of bed, wanders into the kitchen and chews a whole bottle of them. Me being the older brother wanting to get even with her, tells my mother, "Beverly just ate that whole bottle of aspirin." WTF did I know about all this at nine? My mother freaked. I couldn't figure out why. I was just tattling on my little sister. My sister gets rushed to the local hospital in Queens, NY and, to use the vernacular of the day, "has her stomach pumped." I didn't have to go to school that day and my sister still doesn't thank me for saving her life because of my original intent. Ya gotta love sibling rivalry. ps I'm saving one of the really stupid things I did one Halloween night when I was a kid, that almost killed me, for when this thread loses steam.

I used a can opener to open a can of cat food, and for whatever reason, I got the bright idea to bend the metal cut-off top directly in half. What I didn't count on was the cat food slime on the underside of the lid. I bent the lid part way and suddenly felt a ZINK as my hand slid and was sliced wide open. It was one of those deep cuts where you get blood instantly- there was a nice blood spray pattern across the kitchen cabinet. Genius move on my part! |

I recall the time Whammo Superballs were new and all the rage. I wanted one BADLY! Yup. Owning a Superball was my desideratum in life.
But I didn't have the money from my liliputian allowance, so my boyhood ingenuity kicked in. If I couldn't obtain a Superball,  I'd make one instead. But how to do it?  "Ahhhhhhh! I know! I understand that my dad's  golf balls have a rubber core inside and they bounce like crazy if you can just get that stupid outer cover off." So I took a pair of my mom's sharpest scissors and proceeded to hack away. I made a few nicks in it. when WHAM! The scissors slipped and stabbed the palm of my hand so hard that I felt like I had been crucified! Blood everywhere! But eventually I succeeded in stripping it bare. Don't remember if I painted it black or not. So I went out on the playground at school, (which was asphalt. I believe ) and I slammed that thing down with all my nine year old might. Unfortunately I miscalculated the trajectory, and it came back up at full speed directly in my teeth. Oh, God that hurt! And once again, the blood began to pour, causing me to have to run to the nurses station leaving a trail of blood from the playground all the way down the hallway to the nurse. Wasn't worth it.
The difficult must become easy, the easy beautiful and the beautiful magical.

Here'ssomething stupid an adult did. Pay close attention to his T-shirt in the beginning.
